mattador04 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I have modeled an enclosure which has a door that must move on its hinges to the open and closed position. I have used insert and mate assembly constraints to place the door on its hinge and drop the hinge pin in, but how would one: A. specify the degrees of freedom B. put the door in motion ?????????????

KennyJ Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Its all about setting up constraints and then using drive constraint. The video below should answer most of your questions or at least the motion part of your question. Quote
mattador04 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 Thanks, but how do you drive them? Quote
JD Mather Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Right click on the Angle Constraint and select Drive Constraint. Quote
